Criminal – Right to public trial

Where the defendant filed a motion for a new trial, contending that his right to a public trial was violated when a court officer instructed his family to leave the courtroom during jury empanelment, his claim of a Sixth Amendment violation was procedurally waived because he did not object to the removal at the time of empanelment, during the balance of his trial, on appeal or in connection with his two prior motions for a new trial.
